A Door to Another World
It's not a joke. This door is an entrance to one of two necropolis, which is situated in The Alexander Nevsky Lavra.
As I wrote before, it's the oldest cemetery in Saint-Petersburg, more over these two necropolises are the museum of urban sculpture as well. Early it was very prestigious to be buried here. And all famous and outstanding people of 18-19-th centuries of Saint-Petersburg are lying behind this door…
